Action Needed for your open ICPSR Deposit (AEAREP-xxx)

Dear Dr. [Author],

We’re reviewing your open ICPSR deposit for “[Title]” (MC Number) and noticed you answered “Yes” for one or both submission questions on sensitive data and risks. We are checking in with you to verify that those responses are correct.

Please answer these questions in regards to the data that are part of the deposit you are submitting. The answer should not consider any other data that may have been used as part of the manuscript’s analysis, but that are not present in this particular deposit. For most deposits, the correct answer to both questions is “No”.

Please review your deposit, and your answers to these questions.

If the answers are correct as currently provided, please confirm by return email. If you need to modify the answers, you can do so by simply recalling the package, and then re-submitting to the Data Editor

If you nevertheless think that access to the data should be restricted, please contact us immediately to discuss.

More information can be found in our instructions on submitting to openICPSR: https://aeadataeditor.github.io/aea-de-guidance/data-deposit-aea.html#submission-questions

I hope this helps and please let us know if you have any questions.

Thank you.
